Response from three operators
On the 23rd, Jiangsu Mobile responded that for the special circumstances of the death of the original head of household, the family members can go to the designated business hall with the proof of kinship and corresponding notarized documents.
China Unicom said that for the death of the original owner, the legal heir of the original owner can go to China Unicom's own business hall on the strength of the heir's certificate issued by the notary office, the original of the heir's valid ID card and the original of the original owner's death certificate.
China Telecom Customer Service said that the normal transfer rules require both parties to bring their identity documents to the business hall, but in case of special circumstances, such as the death of one of them, the family can also bring the legal documents recognized by the state.
China Telecom customer service also said, 'special cases will be handled specially. However, in case of special circumstances such as the transfer of beautiful numbers, it also depends on some rules of beautiful numbers. "
Why can't you transfer ownership only with the death certificate?
What can't transfer ownership only by death certificate? Jiangsu Mobile said that in order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the deceased and his heirs and avoid legal disputes, the notarial certificate should prove that he is the only heir or authorized by other heirs.
Insiders of operators told chinanews. Com that, in fact, this matter is very difficult. First of all, operators cannot verify whether the death certificate is true or false.
In addition, many mobile phone numbers are now bound to Alipay, WeChat and bank cards. It is easy to get involved in money and transfer. If the materials are not complete, they will be passed to households. The successor of the first successor (spouse, child) of the passing away person can be sued, which has many legal risks. These insiders said.
